Presentation • …….. the portfolio can only give a ‘one dimensional’ form of evidence of your practice ……………………………. panels often ask for additional information • It will be important in your presentation to really showcase the strength of your nursing practice in your current and future nurse practitioner role. • The issue the panel would like you to address in your presentation on 20 March is the following: • Please present a recent client and your use of a systematic assessment framework to showcase your expert nursing knowledge and skills to complete an initial assessment of the client, and what if any follow up care you offered to support their health related needs.
